When leaves are changing shades, there's a nip in the air, and you have the inexplicable urge to stop by Starbucks to grab a Pumpkin Spice Latte, that can only mean one thing — it's fall, y’all. The superior season brings all sorts of exciting things, from homecoming dances to Thanksgiving dinner to pulling out the cozy clothes you had tucked in the back of your closet. If you're on the hunt for plus-size fall outfits and style inspiration, here are a few things to keep in mind.

Each season comes with a slew of trends to play with, but don't write off the important of having staple basics. Your favorite pair of jeans, a great turtleneck, and boots that make you want to strut your stuff will be your secret weapons when putting together the perfect plus-size fall outfit for football games and apple picking. And when it comes to dressing your curves, throw out any unsolicited advice and focus on what makes you feel the most confident and creative. Whether you feel best cozied up in a Folklore cardigan or werking what your mamma gave you in a tight dress, style comes from truly feeling good on the inside.

Ready to shop? Here are some of the cutest plus-size fall outfits that we can't get enough of.
